Colombia holds 66 of them, which is where the plant lives. The United Kingdom holds 13, which is where it does not. Photo: Jhon Fernando Taborda, via GBIF (CC0) Sweden has four. Ireland four between its two country codes. Mexico three, Brazil two, then single records from Belgium, India, Panama and the United States. Add those up and roughly a third of the global record count for this Colombian cloud-forest orchid comes from places it has never grown wild.
